10-year-old boy confesses to fatally shooting a man in his sleep 2 years ago, Texas authorities say
  • I had a 7 year old girl brought to the hospital I worked out of at the time, while I was employed as a crisis intervention worker.

    Flipping out, screaming, punching, kicking, biting, as they try to secure her on the stretcher. She kicks her mother in the face in the process, bad bloody nose, possibly broken, blood starts pouring out, 7 year old starts giggling and pointing at her mother as this happens.

    Ya got me what the answer is to these situations.

  • Man Sets Himself on Fire Near Courthouse Where Trump Is on Trial
  • I worked crisis intervention for a few years. I have arrived to probably a dozen or so suicides. About a half dozen left these huge manifestos.

    Every. Single. One. Got thrown away, 2 had family members toss it in front of me. Turns out your loved ones do not often want to read the crazy shit you killed yourself over, especially when it ultimately changed nothing. One individual had 1000+ pages written, the family wanted nothing to do with it.

    I'm not pro-suicide for anything. Most of these people are just depressed. It's not resolve when you're giving up on life.

  • Viral videos of Tesla drivers using VR headsets prompt US government alarm
  • A lot of the people that drive these things are acting like children in adult bodies. I have seen some wildly dumb shit happen. It's like the car company created by the Darwin Awards...

    I literally once saw someone eating on a little folding table/desk of some sort in their Tesla (driver seat, of course) with the dash screen playing some sort of media.

    Another time, the person was playing a handheld gaming console of some sort, in the driver seat.

    An the automatic lane switching doesn't adjust for people speeding up in the passing lane well. I've seen a couple near accidents there.

  • The Moody Blues - recommendation needed

    What is a good album by them for next time?

    I always listened to random tracks by them, never a full playthrough on an album though.

    Jon Stewart Returns to ‘Daily Show’ as Monday Host, Executive Producer
  • I'm just a random person in the world, so my opinion doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things.....but I have never found Trevor Noah even slightly funny my entire life.

    I feel bad saying that, because he seems like a genuine, sincere person from what I have read and watched, but his delivery on the Daily Show just comes across as bland/flat to me, I stopped watching maybe 1 year into his tenure.

  • Movie Suggestions needed!

    I have been taking shrooms for over a decade now and I think I'm finally out of movies to watch, so I was hoping to crowd source some recommendations here and maybe even throw together a film list for fellow Lemmy psychonauts.

    I tend to focus on comedies - I've seen all Mel Brooks films (except Silent Movie), Monty Python, all things MST3K/Elvira/Svenghoulie. The classics like Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, Dazed & Confused, as well as, "good" B movies/flops like Tank Girl.

    That being said, I've seen a ton of cerebral films too, along the lines of Waking Life for example.

    All I can think of to watch right now is Rango, History of the world part 2 and Freakazoid season 2....these are mostly choices out of desperation at this point, ha (except Rango). Maybe Animaniacs (new & old)? Cloud Atlas?

    So, if you have any obscure comedy recommendations, cerebral films, documentaries, let em rip! (To paraphrase Leslie Nielsen). I'll compile a master list here after a month (?) of postings.

    Thanks!

    A Halloween Miracle - 'Kevin Bacon' the pig has been caught!

    A wayward swine's time on the run has come to an end on Halloween, as 'Kevin Bacon' the pig has returned to his farm in Gettysburg, with a bit of persuasion, of course.

    After being on the run for nearly two weeks, owner Chelsea Rumbaugh confirmed that the pig was caught on Oct. 31 around 12:15 p.m. after walking into his pen, where he was found asleep.
